The happy news of Greyson’s birth comes after years of heartbreak for songwriter DioGuardi, 42, who suffered several miscarriages and failed IVF attempts. In addition, the couple explored other paths to parenthood, including adoption and surrogacy.

She recently opened up about choosing a gestational carrier.

“We made a personal decision to try with a surrogate,” she said. “I asked someone we knew, a friend. And on the first try, it worked. We’re praying for our surrogate, that she gets through this and that it’s as easy on her as it can possibly be, because she’s been a gem throughout the whole process. I’ve got two people on my mind: her and the baby. She’s given us this incredible gift.”
